Thompson Center Encore Contender Muzzleloader Pistol
We’ve let you know about our new 45 cal black powder muzzleloader barrels, but we have yet to let the cat out of the bag in regards to the pistol length muzzleloader. In fact we got a lot of questions regarding a possible pistol length barrel.
The tricky part for a pistol is what forend? We’ve opted for a rifle forend, which means your factory rifle forend works on our pistols.
